luffy ignoring wapol goes way harder than it should. my rubber man just turns and walks away.

i honestly thought luffy would just eat the hit in super dramatic fashion, but THIS IS SO MUCH COOLER! THE LAPINS COMING IN CLUTCH??? OUT OF MUTUAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER'S BADASSITUDE??? insane, actual peak one piece.

THEIR LITTLE POSE!!!!!

another phenomenal luffy moment. love him or hate him, he comes through when it really, truly matters. a exemplary shounen protagonist.

pulling him out by his nose is hilarious. love the sound effect they use whenever they do it.

not only is this a great visual gag, but it's also a great educational joke! chilblains are large red blisters on the skin after exposure to cold. i learned something new today!

i love that zoro truly just cannot die, just become more and more inconvenienced.

THE POWER! THE POSE! THE SHIRTLESS ZORO OH MY GOD HE'S SO COOL!!!!!

goddamn i love when it zoro goes ham.

the bloody hands and feet made me gasp, it's so brutal. we don't see this sort of... casual pain? i guess is the right word. usually it's all battle damage. little smaller more painfully intimate wounds are less common here, but they really make luffy suffer here so much. it's tragic how much he cares and how much he is willing to sacrifice for his crew. a damn fine captain.

CHOPPER! we've seen him before but only glimpses!

HIS FACE: 10/10

HIS NOSE: 10/10 HIS HAT: 10/10
